Body Sculpting

Body sculpting doesn’t always have to involve surgery. In fact, EmSculpt Neo is FDA-approved to both burn fat and tone your muscles simultaneously. Essentially, it’s two procedures in one.

This nonsurgical body sculpting method uses radiofrequency (RF) energy and high intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to gently burn away fat while building muscles. If you’re on the fence about receiving EmSculpt Neo treatments, here are 5 benefits that are hard to pass up.

1. EmSculpt Neo Doesn’t Require Surgery

One of the reasons why EmSculpt Neo in Dallas is so popular is that it doesn’t require any incisions. Instead, the provider will place the high-tech devices directly on the treatment areas. You’ll relax while they do their job.

Because EmSculpt Neo doesn’t require surgery, there is no need to undergo general anesthesia or to engage in any sort of pre-treatment preparations.

2. You Won’t Have Any Downtime

Many cosmetic procedures require a certain amount of downtime. Even nonsurgical treatments like dermabrasion or medium to deep depth chemical peels require some recovery time.

When you undergo EmSculpt Neo treatment, you won’t have any downtime whatsoever. You can immediately return to your normal activities— and best of all, no one will be able to tell that you’ve just had a procedure.

3. Side Effects Are Temporary and Minimal

Almost any type of cosmetic or medical procedure carries a risk of some side effects. EmSculpt Neo is no different, but the potential for side effects isn’t any greater than the potential side effects from undergoing a tough workout.

Since the device contracts the muscles rapidly thousands of times, it’s normal to feel a bit of muscle soreness. You may feel a little more tired than usual and some people may experience some minor, localized swelling. These side effects will go away on their own in a short period of time.

4. The Results Are Long-Lasting

Because EmSculpt Neo isn’t a surgical treatment, it can take a little while to see the results. Most patients begin to see results within a few weeks. You may see optimal results as late as 90 days (about 3 months) after the last treatment session.

EmSculpt Neo works by inducing the death of fat cells, which are then naturally processed and removed by the body. Once fat cells die and are removed, they can’t come back.

It is possible for the still-existing fat cells to grow larger. However, your results are maintainable on a long-term basis simply by following a healthy, reasonable diet and exercise plan. And not only will it improve your muscle and reduce fat, you will feel stronger in your workouts.

5. EmSculpt Neo Can Treat a Range of Areas

Another top benefit of EmSculpt Neo is its ability to treat many different areas of the body. Even if you work out and eat well, it’s likely that you have certain areas of stubborn body fat. This nonsurgical body sculpting treatment can target stubborn fat and build muscle in the following areas:

• Abdomen
• Hips
• Inner and outer thighs
• Front and back of the thighs
• Flanks
• Arms
• Buttocks
• Calves

If you want to sculpt your figure and target stubborn areas without surgery or significant downtime, Dallas Dermatology Partners offers the latest non-surgical body contouring. When it comes to fat reduction and muscle growth, both Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo deliver amazing results, but there are some key differences between the two technologies.

Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo Overview

Before we delve into the differences, here’s an overview of these FDA-approved body sculpting treatments. Both systems melt fat and build muscle mass simultaneously by mimicking the benefits of intense strength training.

Emsculpt and Emsculpt Neo can be used to lose fat and gain definition in the following areas of the body:

• Abdomen
• Buttocks
• Inner and outer thighs
• Flanks
• Arms
• Upper legs
• Calves

Both non-surgical treatments use high-intensity electromagnetic pulses, which cause the muscles to contract. Patients can expect to see noticeable improvements in treated areas after four sessions. In addition, there is no downtime or lengthy recovery involved. Temporary muscle fatigue is the most commonly reported side effect.

How is Emsculpt Neo Different?

Technology is the key difference between Emsculpt and the newer Emsculpt Neo. While Emsculpt relies on high-intensity electromagnetic pulses to tighten and tone, Emsculpt Neo combines this with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual technology allows patients to contour and reshape problem areas faster.

Emsculpt Neo is an ideal choice for men and women with higher BMIs (up to 35) who are looking for greater body fat reduction. Radiofrequency energy boosts blood circulation and increases muscle contractions for maximum efficiency.

Benefits of Emsculpt Neo

Emsculpt Neo has a broad appeal in increasing muscle tone and expediting fat loss in targeted areas. Clinical studies underscore the many benefits of this body contouring system:

• Emsculpt Neo Increases muscle mass by 25 percent compared to Emsculpt’s 16 percent
• Emsculpt Neo produces 24,000 muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session compared to Emsculpt’s 20,000 contractions.
• Emsculpt Neo can result in up to a 30 percent subcutaneous fat loss compared to Emsculpt’s 19 percent.
• Slimming and toning results can be maintained through a healthy diet and exercise.
• Increased muscle definition and fat loss are evident within a few weeks of the first treatment.
• Treatment sessions are not painful, and no anesthesia is required
• Muscle improvements also enhance workout performance

All skin tones are suitable for Emsculpt Neo, so whether you hope to lose that “menopause middle” or target exercise-resistant love handles, this next-generation device is a safe and effective solution.

How Does Fat Leave the Body After EmSculpt Neo?

Once the EmSculpt Neo fat reduction treatment induces the death of fat cells, these fat cells are then ingested by immune cells and removed from the body through natural processes. It is an effective way to reduce fat in areas such as the stomach, hips, and thighs.

In addition, the body does not produce new fat cells. Once the treated fat cells are destroyed and eliminated from the body, they cannot come back. However, the fat cells that still remain can grow larger due to dietary imbalances. This is why it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle after you undergo a fat removal treatment.

A quick look at fat cells

Fat cells, or adipose tissue, first begin to accumulate during the latter stages of fetal development. After birth, the number of fat cells remains stable until puberty, at which time people begin to form additional fat cells.

Following puberty, the body stops producing new fat cells. With dietary imbalances, the existing fat cells can expand, which leads to additional fat accumulation. When a person begins burning more calories than they consume, the fat stored within the cells is used and begins to decrease.

It is a common misconception that doing targeted exercises, such as crunches and sit-ups, will burn fat in the targeted areas. Although the exercises will indeed boost muscle growth, they cannot spot-reduce fat accumulation. However, EmSculpt Neo can do both.

Here is how it works.

How EmSculpt Neo destroys fat cells

EmSculpt Neo works in two ways. First, it uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) pulses to induce contractions within the muscles.

These contractions change the structure of the muscles, causing them to become stronger, tighter, and more toned. It’s as if you did thousands of sit-ups or squats. In this way, EmSculpt Neo can create a toned silhouette more effectively than mere exercise alone can.

Second, EmSculpt Neo applies radiofrequency (RF) energy to the treatment area. The RF energy targets the fat cells and heats them to up to 44 degrees Celsius while leaving non-fat cells alone. The heat destroys the fat cells, enabling them to be naturally processed and eliminated by the body—for good.

How destroyed fat cells are naturally eliminated from the body

So, how exactly are destroyed fat cells eliminated from the body? Well, first, as the fat cells absorb the heat from the RF energy, they undergo apoptosis, which is a type of cell death. The body is quite effective at removing any type of dead cells. It has to be, since dead cells that are not cleared away can lead to inflammation. These cells are cleared from the body by phagocytes.

Phagocytes are immune cells that are responsible for, among other tasks, circulating throughout the body’s tissues in search of foreign invaders and dead cells. Apoptotic cells display so-called “find me” signals, enabling phagocytes to find and identify them as unwanted cellular debris. When they find cellular debris (or microbes), the phagocytes engulf these unwanted materials.

The phagocytes undergo cytoskeleton rearrangement in order to internalize the dead fat cells. They then ingest the “meal” using enzymes, causing the degradation of the dead fat cells and enabling them to be removed from the body.

What exactly does all of this scientific information mean for your aesthetic goals? Quite simply, it means that EmSculpt Neo is highly effective at destroying unwanted fat cells. Unlike many other fat reduction treatments, however, EmSculpt Neo simultaneously tones muscles in the treated area.
